Windchill

Hello, Does Windchill PDMLink supports Active/Passive SQLServer Database connection? If so, what is the configuration required from PDMLink?

Is PDM Essential (Application server) is compatible with Microsoft Security Patch??Kindly suggest please..

We just received this yesterday.  Is anyone aware of this?  Or have you already updated your system?

So I've been racking my brain since march, and literally no valuable help from PTC on this issue, but I need some input from the community at this point.  We've had a case open with PTC for 68 days and still no fix...Environment:Windows Server 2012R2Windchill 11.0 M020 (also tried with M030) OOTB-Apache 2.4 (bundled version)Server (& AD Domain Controller) has policies that require contact to AD/DC to be NTLMv2 only.Certificates are properly imported into Keystore & to the TRCA on the machineFollowed CS62326.This configuration works perfectly with our production environment Windows Server 2008R2 / WC 10.2 M030 / Apache 2.2.I am racking my brain here....Any of you using Server 2012R2 & WC 11.0 yet?

Hi,What is the different between a DynamicRole and RoleGroups in Windchill 11.0? Where can I find a documentation about the different group types?Both are used in the Context Template xml (see snipped below). The ACLs are created with the UI. ...  <AccessControlRule>     <domainName>/Default</domainName>     <externalTypeId>WCTYPE|wt.doc.WTDocument|priv.Domain.MyDocument</externalTypeId>     <lifecycleState>RELEASED</lifecycleState>     <WTPrincipalReference isInternal="true">       <groupName>DOCUMENT_MANAGEMENT</groupName>       <groupType>DynamicRole</groupType>     </WTPrincipalReference>     <grantPermissionSet><AccessPermissionSet>         <permissionField name="READ"></permissionField>   &n

We are trying to automate the process of CR/CN daily reports to download to a network folder. Is there any way – Windchill can automatically download as an excel report of a custom report from query builder  ?

Anyone know how to not display the "Define Impact" on a Varaince (step 2)?I am using a sub-type of Variance for users to request Test Builds for validations and I don't need this section.

Hi Everyone,I've started Upgrade Windchill PDMLink from 10.1 to 11. I'm facing issue during Upgrade at Execute Standalone Migrators activity.

Any suggestions will be really helpful to me. Regards,Krishna

I have list of attributes which might be String, Double, Boolean or List values. I would like to identify what type of attribute is it based on the name of the attribute. Could anyone help me how to get to know the type of attribute?

I am relatively sure this is not possible, but has anyone had any success with creating a Windchill Replica Vault on a computer that does not run Windchill, for example, a laptop?My company is working with replicating vaults for convenient transfer of data without passing it through a WAN, much like in this thread. Windchill Content Replication

We are working with "Creo NC Manufacturing" module, we are able to generate .cl,.mbx,.lst,tl1..etc files at local machine (say desktop). But when working with "Creo NC Manufacturing" along with WINDCHILL,same files are not generated in windchill worksapce. please guide is there any settings needed in windchill preference.

I have recently been doing a lot of testing and learning in Windchill. Having no real training, and being tasked to solve a number of problems for our business units has led to me making some mistakes and having to fix them. Of course all of this is happening on our production server as well, because we don't have a test server. I've now caused one issue that I cannot figure out how to fix.I believe that by using Set for Build, I have pushed the WTPart structure to the CAD Structure. This results in all of my models being removed from my assemblies when I open them. I need to reverse this and force the CAD Structure to populate the WTPart structure. How do I do this? I find myself getting confused about which way information is being pushed in the Compare CAD to WTPart and Compare WTPart to CAD windows, and I'm truly just fumbling around trying to learn (which I have learned a ton) since I cannot find good training information.Thank you.

After generating an MBOM in MPM link I wish to move parts within the lower levels and not have them in part number order.Does anybody know if this is possible and how it is done, is it just a configuration/set up issue?Many thanks, Dale.

Again, very late to the PDMLink 10 party here ... In PDMLink 9 there was an option to open all files when ProductView was launched. This meant that components for assemblies opened upon launch rather than having to manually click a radio box to load them.Does anyone know if there is a way to achieve the same thing in PDMLink 10 / Creo View? Seems a little silly to me not to auto load the files. If I clicked on an assembly visualization then chances are really good I wanted to actually load it and see it.

Hello,We are trying to pull the tree structure of two of the Nonconformance attributes "NC Category" & "NC Trending Categories", into Thingworx.At Thingworx side, we can parse xml or json input; preferably with the tree (parent-child) details, and feed it to tree widget.At Windchill side we need some help to develop the webject (xml or java code) to pass the attribute details. Please let us know the right approach or API to get the above attributes along with parent-child (tree) detailsOther detailsObject - WCTYPE|com.ptc.qualitymanagement.nc.Nonconformance Attribute Name - Nonconformance CategoryInternal name - ncCategoryCode / ncCategoryPathObject - com.ptc.qualitymanagement.nc.NCTrendingCodeAttribute Name - Nonconformance Trending CategoriesInternal name - ncTrendingCode & ncTrendingPathPlease refer attached screenshots.ThanksAvinash

Are you experiencing poor server performance managing Pro/E, Creo or Windchill Workgroup Manager (CAD) data in Windchill?   Are users complaining that when working with CAD data, interaction with Windchill or the Workspace is slow?   Do you wonder what you should do to setup or tune a Windchill server for interaction with clients working with CAD data?   Initial performance tuning of a Windchill server doesn't have to be overly complicated and time consuming process.  Time spent tuning the Windchill server will improve performance and ensure users have the best possible interaction with the Windchill.  Let's walk through the following:   Resources that are available to guide you during tuning Server properties and preferences to set Database tuning Other considerations   Resources Technical Support Article CS24192 [TS KP] Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Creo or Windchill Workgroup Manager Interaction with PDMLink - Recommended Initial Performance Server Set

Has anyone done an upgrade from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012 for Windchill?  I know that when I'm done, I'll have to run the collation conversion but my question is do you have to install 2012 separately and import the database or can you run the "SQL Upgrade" to upgrade the database instead?  The book is saying the first, but I'm wondering if the second works.

I want to reassign workflow activity to other user with API .So Kind give some code snippet to start.

Hello,I am trying to rename a system and running into this problem.  The system is a clone of production that will be a test system. Windchill 10.2 M030 CPS-11.  The SQL Server and PTC Directory server are running, per the rehost documentation.I have created the rehost.properties with the guidance of this document:"How to rename Windchill 10.x using Rehosting Utility 3.0 in Windchill PDMLink"https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS249543I have also tried the suggestions in this document:"Rehost Utility throws error "ANT_HOME is set incorrectly", but ANT_HOME is actually set correctly for Windchill PDMLink 10.1"https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS121851(which indicates it covers versions 10.1 thru 11)The Rehost utility documentation says that it is not necessary to escape the characters anyway.  I am using the windchill shell (get the same error when in a windows shell, fwiw).I have made sure that I have a proper psi_iir file unde

With Technical Support Help from Case 13692115, we have created a report to find all CAD objects that failed to publish in the Windchill Publisher within an entered date range. The issue I couldn't solve was that my report was finding objects in user's workspaces...the attached reports resolve the issue so the output does not include modified CAD objects residing in user's workspaces.   In our use case, we delete all failed objects from the WVS Job Monitor list on Saturday Night and we didn't have an easy way to find these objects after the fact.  This report enables us to find those.   The second report, will find those objects that failed in the publisher but are checked out in user's workspace. After user's check in objects, they often check them back out to make further changes.   Report was developed and tested in WC10.1.  Test in your environment before putting into Production.   Admin's feel free to link to the reporting source or link to other simi

I am working through a cloning rehost to get a 10.0 m040 system that I can do test work on.I installed Oracle on its machine and run the PTC Setup for Oracle.Installed Windchill on its machine.OOTB Windchill can be started.Did a drop user PDM and Create_user PDM on the Oracle machineImported the Oracle dump from my production machine.Imported the LDIF backup from production.Ran the rehost utility with I think proper settings.When I look at the site.xconf file on both machines, it does not match.Does the rehost utility copy the wt.properties and other *.properties files from the source to the target machines when it runs?There is no mention of copying these files in the rehost guide, yet without them, the target machine is not a complete rehost.Any insights on what files should be manually copied over? There are a lot of *.properties files, so maybe just the site.xconf should be copied, edited for node name and then propagated.Does the Rehost Guide need to be revisied to add this inform
